The climate is changing\, leading to rising sea levels\, e nduring droughts\, expansion of deserts and extreme weather\, affecting mi llions of people. Population is predicted to grow from seven billion in 20 10 to eleven billion in 2100\, implying a huge and ever-rising demand for energy\, water supply\, and many kinds of other resources including food\, jobs\, and infrastructure. A growing percentage of the population will liv e in cities\, urging planners to develop new concepts for mobility\, logis tics\, housing\, health services\, and cultural attractiveness. Inequaliti es in terms of demographics\, income levels\, education\, and quality of l ife challenge our sense of distribution justice and raise the risk of wars \, terrorism\, and revolutionary movements.\n\nWhat is the role of busines s firms and strategic management scholars in finding solutions for these p roblems? What are the responsibilities of global corporations and what str ategies can they develop to meet the needs of an increasingly complex worl d? How can firms improve their environmental footprint? How can they contr ibute to a fair distribution of wealth and to improving the living conditi ons at the “\;bottom of the pyramid”\;? How can they collaborate with governments\, social movements\, nongovernmental organizations\, and other stakeholder groups to achieve these goals? What are business models for creating\, capturing\, and sharing value within such networks with div erse sets of interests?\n\nWe believe that strategy research should reflec t on these questions in order to help managers and firms to cope with new challenges and contribute to making our world better. We call for proposal s that reflect on how these challenges impact existing paradigms of strate gic management\, change our understanding of extant theoretical models\, a nd help to identify strategies and business models for solving pressing re al-world problems. Our call includes a strong interest in how we can go be yond shareholder value and measure the performance of business firms in te rms of their contributions to making our world better. We hope that papers in these directions will once more ensure that our discipline is not only academically ambitious but also practically relevant.
